19-24. abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person . . . purify both yourselves and your captives —Though the Israelites had taken the field in obedience to the command of God, they had become defiled by contact with the dead. A process of purification was to be undergone, as the law required ( Leviticus 15:13 ; Numbers 19:9-12 ), and this purifying ceremony was extended to dress, houses, tents, to everything on which a dead body had lain, which had been touched by the blood-stained hands of the Israelitish warriors, or which had been the property of idolaters. This became a standing ordinance in all time coming ( Leviticus 6:28 ; Leviticus 11:33 ; Leviticus 15:12 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-25" class="com-number"
